Owen Agho is an experienced data privacy and artificial intelligence attorney at the firm, whose practice sits at the intersection of law and technology and their combined impact on society at large. He advises clients on complex privacy, compliance, artificial intelligence, and technology-related legal matters, working with companies across industries to navigate evolving U.S. and international privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and various state privacy and AI statutes, helping clients assess regulatory risk and build compliant data practices.

Owen assists clients in developing and negotiating commercial agreements, including vendor and partner contracts that address privacy, security, and data-use provisions, and he supports organizations in responding to data security incidents, coordinating cross-functional incident response efforts and advising on notification obligations. He also counsels clients on the legal and regulatory dimensions of artificial intelligence, including issues related to AI governance, responsible deployment, algorithmic risk, and the intersection of AI with privacy and intellectual property law. His practice seamlessly blends legal, technical, and business perspectives, enabling clients to address privacy and technology challenges tied to new platforms and third-party relationships.

Before entering the legal profession, Owen gained valuable experience in higher education administration and business development at a technology startup focused on data-driven marketing and personalization, giving him a unique real-world understanding of technology and business operations that informs his legal practice. Owen is also an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, where he teaches a course on privacy and surveillance.
